Did Abramoff Sleep at The White House or Camp David?

[spooked]

Since Abramoff was a "Pioneer", having raised more than $100,000 for the President, and since an overnight stay at The White House and Camp David is one of the "perks" given to Pioneers, isn't it safe to assume that Abramoff could very well have slept at the White House and Camp David?!

"The perks for 246 "pioneers" who raised at least $100,000 also included overnight stays at the White House and Camp David, parties at the White House and Bush's Texas ranch, state dinners with world leaders and overseas travel with U.S. delegations to the Olympics and other events, the review found."

Jack didn't sleep.
He stayed up all night whispering in junior's sleeping ear.

2. And speaking of wire-tapping, etc ...

... if Abramoff DID spend time at the WH or camp David, wouldn't it be interesting to check the phone records and see WHO HE SPOKE TO DURING HIS OVERNIGHT STAY?

6. If there is ONE SKILL that BUSH DOES have it's Social Skill...

Remember this story about his college days? There is NO WAY that Bush didn't go out of his way to schmooze with the man who raised over $100,000 for him!


"Even then he had clearly awesome social skills. Legend has it that he knew the names of all forty-five of his fellow pledges when he rushed Deke. He later became rush chairman of Deke -- I do believe he has the soul of a rush chairman. He has that ability to connect with people."
